Mr_Fixitit's still an exe though..00:23
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: that's fine00:23

Odd-rationaledownload the .deb to usb. then transfer it over to the other machine00:31
Odd-rationalethen double-click on the .deb file00:31

Mr_Fixit*restarted downloads at least 200 times lol00:33
Mr_Fixitthank god it resumes lol00:33
Mr_Fixitso now open the exe??00:35

Odd-rationalethen, in that folder, right-click somewhere in the background and select, open in terminal00:36
Mr_Fixityup00:36
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: in the terminal do: cabextract <file>.exe00:36
Mr_Fixitsays no such file..00:37

kartoffelmenschalso my fstab is configured well01:52
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: yeah, i'l still aroudn... :P01:52
Mr_Fixithow do i use the ndiswrapper?? sudo ndiswrapper -i rtl8185.inf?01:53
kartoffelmenschand the same happens when plugging my usb drive off or pushing the button on my cdtray to get the disc out ("..is already unmounted .."01:53
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: what files where in the zip? was there a .sys file and a .inf file?01:53
kartoffelmenschMr_Fixit: just read the installation note, its a perfect small HOWTO01:54
Mr_Fixitin the one directory i have a net8185.inf and a rtl8185.sys01:54
kartoffelmenschMr_Fixit: in the package u downloaded01:54
kartoffelmenschsudo ndiswrapper -i net818501:54
Mr_Fixityea well kartoffelmensch if ya knew the problem you'd know i don't have access to download from symantics01:55
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: ok. in that directory you run: sudo ndiwrapper -i rtl8185.inf01:55
kartoffelmenschjust read the readme's, these questions are kinda useless \-:01:55
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: the first thing i would try is: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart01:55
Mr_Fixitbut thanks for your wonderfull help01:55
kartoffelmenschMr_Fixit: where did u get that ndiswrapper package from ?001:56
kartoffelmenschsourceforge ?01:56

Mr_Fixitat all..01:56
kartoffelmenschOdd-rationale: what does this command do? :o01:56
Mr_Fixitall manually installed packages01:56
kartoffelmenschMr_Fixit: so how did u get this package then ?01:56
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: it restarts hal01:56
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: do you have ndiswrapper installed?01:57
Mr_Fixityea01:57
Mr_Fixitfrom this box..01:57
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: ok. how about on the other box?01:57
Mr_Fixit*yea to you... the second line was for the other guy01:57
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: ok try running that command: sudo ndiswrapper -i rtl8185.inf01:58
kartoffelmenschjust run "sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185" and then "modprobe ndiswrapper"01:58
kartoffelmenschu cannot tell me that there werent any readmes in the package u installed the wrapper from [-x01:59
Mr_Fixitkartoffelmensch: you are not being much help... no offense but piss off01:59
Odd-rationalecool down, guys...01:59
Mr_Fixitwhat about the .sys?02:00
kartoffelmenschomg just enter the fricking commands, whats so hard about that :f02:00
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: it needs to be in the same directory as the .ing02:00
Odd-rationaleinf02:00
kartoffelmenschmonkey see monkey do, the only skill u need02:01
kartoffelmensch=D02:01
Mr_Fixitwhich went where?02:01
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: what went where?02:01
Mr_Fixitwell kartoffelmensch that's what i'm doing is copying what this nice guy has told me to do.. pretty damn easy for a linux noob huh02:01
Mr_Fixitwell i ran the ndiswrapper and it installed but what about the sys file now?02:02
kartoffelmensch02:58:39) kartoffelmensch: just run "sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185" and then "modprobe ndiswrapper"02:02
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: just leav it...02:02
kartoffelmenschnothing02:02
kartoffelmenschforget the sys file02:02
kartoffelmenschif u just untered the 2 commands that i wrote02:02
kartoffelmenschyour driver is installed02:02
kartoffelmenschno need to whine cry or offend any ppl02:02
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: next do: ndiswrapper -l02:02
kartoffelmenschyoure done02:02
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: with sudo02:02
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: and report the output...02:03
Mr_Fixitpresent02:03
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: alright, now to the step kartoffelmensch was getting to: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper02:04
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: then check iwconfig and see if there is more than lo and eth002:04
Mr_Fixit*fatal error blah blah blah operation not permitted02:04
kartoffelmenschsudo modprobe ndiswrapper02:04
Mr_Fixityea now it's in iwconfig02:05
Mr_Fixitand thanks02:05
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: cool see if you can see connect now...02:05
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: btw,did restarting hal help?02:05
Mr_Fixitwhat's a keyring?02:06
=== tuna-fish is now known as tuna
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: it saves you passwd in a keyring so that you can store severall passwds in the keyring.02:07
Mr_Fixitokies02:07
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: does it work?02:08
Mr_Fixityea wicked..02:08
Mr_Fixitall i need to do now is fix my res again lol02:08
Mr_Fixitthanks again...02:08
kartoffelmenschbtw: in ANY package/tarball u leech are README and INSTALL files which tell you howto setup this thing, so for the future u know that :f02:08
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: wait, one more thing.02:08
Mr_Fixitand thanks for your input as well kartoffelmensch02:08
kartoffelmenschyoure welcome02:09
kartoffelmenschyea02:09
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: do: gksudo gedit /etc/modules02:09
Mr_Fixitand yea i am a leech.. so what?? so is everyone else in one way or another..02:09
Mr_Fixiti contribute in other ways..02:09
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: it should open up /etc/modules with a text editor02:09
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: got it?02:09
Mr_Fixitno..02:10
Mr_Fixitone sec..02:10
Mr_Fixitoh ye.. i don't have gedit02:10
Odd-rationaleoh sorry.02:10
Odd-rationalemousepad02:10
kartoffelmenschyes but the readmes are written from ppl who really knew what they are talking about and the include troubleshooting. if u read the readmes and install notes u are able to setup apps 3 times faster than asking in a channel02:10
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: gksudo mousepad /etc/modules02:11
Mr_Fixityea but i don't always understand that stuff... i'm really new to terminals02:11
Mr_Fixityea it's open02:11
Mr_Fixit*nano02:11
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: ok. if it is not already there, add this to the end of the file on its own line: ndiswrapper02:11
Mr_Fixiti have "fuse and lp"02:11
Mr_Fixityea ok02:12
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: then reboot to make sure everything will still work after a reboot. :P02:12
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: oh, save and close the file... of course...02:12
Mr_Fixitthanks again.. for it all... damn compy finally works FULLY after 9 bloody distros..02:14
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: np. let me know if there is any problems after reboot...02:14
Mr_Fixiti gotta go eat... and get to setting this comp up..02:14
Mr_Fixityea thanks again...02:14
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: maybe we'll figure out your resolution next :P02:14
Mr_Fixitwell i got most of that... i just need to play a little bit..02:15
Odd-rationaleMr_Fixit: well, you know where to find me. or others for help.02:15
kartoffelmenschOdd-rationale: what do you think could be the problem which a HAL restart could solve ?02:16
kartoffelmenschregarding the double (un)mount problem ?02:16
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: hal usually handles all the autmounting and such02:16
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: i'd try restarting the hal daemon first...02:16
Odd-rationalesudo /etc/init.d/hal restart02:17
kartoffelmenschnope02:19
kartoffelmenschdiddnt work02:19
kartoffelmenschstill openeing 2 thunars when entering a cd02:19
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: do you have tw0 thunar daemons running?02:20
kartoffelmenschand still 2 windows which popup showing they trey to unmount my CD when i press on the open button on the tray (leading to 1 error message "could now unmount .. is not in the /media/.hal-mtab02:20
kartoffelmenschwellll02:21
kartoffelmenschno i dont have any thunar proces opened02:21
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: i assume the same still happens after a reboot?02:22
kartoffelmenschyep02:22
kartoffelmenschthats why i doubted the sense of the HAL restart02:22
kartoffelmensch=)02:22
Odd-rationaleok id doubt this will work either, but try rm ~/.config/Thunar02:24
Odd-rationalerm -rf ~/.config/Thunar02:25
kartoffelmenschsee02:26
kartoffelmenschthe problem isnt thunar02:26
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: i found this: http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-12277.html02:26
Odd-rationalebut that doesn't help much...02:26
kartoffelmenschi got a cd in my tray02:26
kartoffelmenschi press open02:26
kartoffelmenschthen 2 small windows pop up02:27
kartoffelmenschon the bottom right02:27
kartoffelmenschshowing "trying to unmount your cd"02:27
kartoffelmenschthese 2 popups (where only 1 popup should be) are the proof for that there is some daemon or else running02:27
kartoffelmenschwhich does anything twice02:27
Odd-rationalethunar-volman-plugin?02:28
kartoffelmenschor 2 daemons of the same kind02:28
kartoffelmenschwhats that ?02:28
kartoffelmenschits an almost fresh xubuntu install02:28
kartoffelmenschi diddnt install anything thunar related yet02:28
kartoffelmenschbut i check, sec02:28
Odd-rationalei still think it is hal related...02:29
Odd-rationalebut i gtg.02:29
Odd-rationalebbl02:29
kartoffelmenschwell thanks02:29
kartoffelmenschanyways02:29
kartoffelmenschsleep well02:29
Odd-rationalekartoffelmensch: maybe file a bug on launchpad of the xfce bugtracker...02:29
kartoffelmenschyea02:31
Mr_Fixitanyways kartoffelmensch my original problem was that in 6.06 my network connections would keep dropping.. both eth0 and wlan0.. they would connect for up to 30 secs and drop..02:40
Mr_Fixitafter i installed 8.04 nothing worked.. at all.. my screen was shot, no network card and no sound..02:42
Mr_Fixitand after spending a day reading about similar problems i finally came in here to "leech" for help02:43
Mr_Fixitbut i still have the wifi drops now that it's fixed..02:44
kartoffelmenschMr_Fixit: maybe its your router/wifi card ?03:08
kartoffelmenschand not the drivers03:09
Mr_Fixityea but would it do it to both the wifi and lan??03:12
Mr_Fixitit's not the network03:12
Rakeerlaptop or desk?03:20
Mr_Fixitlaptop03:20
Rakeeraha.03:20
Rakeerintegrated networking chip...03:21
Rakeerwould cause the issue to be with both devices...is the wifi integrated or the card?03:21
Mr_Fixitis it fixable??03:21
RakeerI know there are enumerator issues with a lot of laptops, inability to use wifi and lan at the same time03:21
Mr_Fixitit's all integrated... no external devices03:21
Rakeerso if linux is attemping to power/use them both at the same time may be the problem03:21
Rakeerdid you try disabling one or the other?03:21
Mr_Fixitwell the lan is not recognized atm at all.03:22
RakeerMr_Fixit: Is you wirelss inside the laptop a mini-pci card or onboard?03:22
Mr_Fixitinside.. no card03:22
Rakeerlol, ok, I know, it's INSIDE the laptop...03:22
Rakeerbut...usually there is a mini pci under a device plate where they stick your card, if not its on board\03:22
Rakeerwhat chipset/laptop model?03:22
Mr_Fixitlol i don't know much else then you can see the specs page if you want03:22
Mr_Fixithttp://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/MagicLC/1008829sp2.shtml03:23
Mr_Fixiti have the pastebin for the lspci if you wanna look in there too03:24
Rakeeroh a gateway...can't say I'm hopful :P looking03:24
Rakeersure03:24
Rakeerah yes, integrated wireless ethernet03:24
Rakeerwireless / ethernet03:24
Mr_Fixithttp://pastebin.com/m49da390c03:25
Mr_Fixitso at least that explains the drops on both..03:25
RakeerEthernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller03:26
Rakeergoogle that about X/Ubuntu03:26
Rakeeror just RTL-8185 Xubuntu / Ubuntu and see what you find03:27
Mr_Fixityea i got a fair bit...03:27
Mr_Fixitthat'll at least get me goin.03:27
Mr_Fixitthanks03:27
RakeerHi favro03:30
favrohi !03:31
Rakeer(I switched back to my old freenode nick...after almost 3 years it was still registerd to me :)03:36
Rakeerregistered*03:36
Rakeer<-RakZer003:37
Mr_Fixityea i noticed they don't drop them much...03:38
Mr_Fixiti seen one that was 5 yrs since registration and almost 4 yrs since use03:38
Rakeerwhat do you mean?03:40
Mr_Fixitwell the nick hadn't been identifies in almost 4 years..03:40
Mr_Fixit*identified03:40
Rakeerah03:46
Rakeerthought you were talking about the realtek chip or your laptop still.. lol03:46
Mr_Fixitlol03:47
RakeerOpen the bottom of your laptop and see if you have a mini pci slot03:47
RakeerI would just buy a $15 broadcom based card or something03:47
Mr_Fixitwell i dunno what the part looks like but yea that could be a solutionj03:48
Rakeerif you can disable the others in the bios I would reccomned that also...03:48
Rakeerthere will be plates on the boot that comeoff with one or two screws to acces memory/hard drive/etc03:49
Rakeermaybe be a minipci in there...you never know03:49
Mr_Fixityea i've been in there but i dunno if the one is a wifi card or not..03:49
Rakeerhowever you would need to extend or locate your wifi antenna cables inside and reconnect them..03:49
Mr_Fixitit's not ram or hd03:49
Rakeercould also be a modem03:50
Mr_Fixitwell i don't need that either..03:50
Mr_Fixithow would i know??03:50
Mr_Fixityea that's the wifi card in question..03:54
Mr_Fixitthat's a mini pci slot???03:55
Mr_Fixitand can i put any other card in there?03:56
Rakeerany other mini pci I suppose...03:56
Rakeernot sure what03:56
Rakeerdoes it have a black/white little wire connected to it?03:56
Rakeerrather, 2 wires03:56
Mr_Fixityup03:56
Rakeeron gold metal plugs03:57
Mr_Fixitb & w03:57

pohvaki have a x86 computer (32 mb RAM (!) 2.4 GB hard disk, pentium 3)07:14
pohvakwich version of xubuntu can run on it?07:14
pohvaki try to run ubuntu 6 but ask me for at least 64 mb in ram07:15
favro32mb is a bit short for most gui distros these days afaik07:15
pohvaklol, i know, is there any distro wich can i install?07:16
pohvaki need to use gimp, i only need a image editor to work in these 32 mb ram computer07:16
favroI think you're asking a bit much there...07:17
favroyou could run a command line disto like ubuntu server I would think07:17
pohvakwith 64 in ram, can i run xubuntu with gimp ??07:18
favroyou would need to use the alternate install cd for xubuntu  - it would be slow but may work ok07:20
pohvakxubuntu 8.04 alternate ??07:21
pohvakok, thanks i'll go to museum and steal a 32 mb pc100 ram07:21

pohvakwhat about an old version?07:30
Odd-rationalepohvak: hmm. you should probably find another use for that machine... maybe a torrent+irc machine :D07:30
favroI wouldn't know about that07:30
Odd-rationalepohvak: older versions generally don't use less mem... in fact, they might actually use more...07:30
favropohvak: you might look at puppylinux - it runs from cd07:32
Odd-rationalegtg. g807:33
pohvakyeah, you are right favro, im reading in the web07:34

Mark-lalalaHello! I've been given a dusty old laptop with 180MB Ram and a duddery Celeron processor. I just formated the hard drive and the question now is "what OS should go on here?".13:33
Myrttihow impartial answer do you want?13:39
Mark-lalalaI do realise I'm in a channel called #xubuntu, so I'll bear that in mind but listen to whatever you have to say.13:40
Mark-lalalaIf you're all for one OS above another, let me know why :)13:41
Mark-lalalaThough I guess my main chriteria are hardware support for this knackered old laptop's bits and minimal hardware requirements in terms of RAM and CPU speed, etc.13:43

whileimhereWhat is the point of services like klogd?23:30
favroMarkopotamus: k - we'll tell it directly the size to use - which reolution are you after?23:31
TheSheepwhileimhere: so that when your system crashes, you can look and see why23:31
Markopotamus1024 x 768 I guess.23:31
whileimhereother than that?23:32
TheSheepwhileimhere: that's not enough?23:32
whileimherewell if it crashes it crashes I wont debug I just re-install23:32
TheSheepwhileimhere: what if it crashes because your hard disk drive got broken?23:33
TheSheepwhileimhere: you will keep reinstalling?23:33
whileimhereuh then I wont even get to the logs now will I23:33
Markopotamusfavro: Im not sure what resolution the monitor is - it looks like 1024/768 to me while the desktop is almost twice that, perhaps 1600x120023:33
TheSheepwhileimhere: you will, it usually doesn't break entirely right away23:33
MarkopotamusWhoah - favro, I was just trying the xrandr -s command you told me first and I was trying different resolutions and suddenly 800x600 worked23:35
MarkopotamusI can see the rest of the screen now23:35
favroMarkopotamus: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - screen section add these new lines after it says "Configured Video Device"23:35
Markopotamusalthough euw, the it's completly horible. Mishapen pixels.. ugh23:36
favroMarkopotamus: yeh - 1024x768 sounds closer to the one23:36
Markopotamusyes! It worked!23:36

Markopotamusfavro: well it's a definate improvement! Had a scary moment there on starting up though...23:52
Markopotamusfavro: right now I have the bottom edge of the screen but the right hand side is missing. However if I resize it then it comes back23:52
favroMarkopotamus: I was worried ...23:52
Markopotamusfavro: hehe, yeah it was a little worrying at first. I had some kinda crazy black and red screen for a few minutes, and then it asked me to configure the graphics card because it didnt recongnise it23:53
favroMarkopotamus: type  xrandr  - it will show all available options for resolution23:53
Markopotamusfantastic. It certainly does23:54
